Whenever an escort is required

  • the length trigger in particular conflicts across secondary sources (100'/110'/150'). Confirm directly with WYDOT/WHP before moving.

Each example changes one dimension from a legal 8′6″ wide, 13′6″ high, 75′, 80,000 lb tractor-trailer. Real moves often combine several. “Set by permit” means Wyoming decides that case on the permit itself. Permits can add conditions of their own, so check yours before you move.
